There’s obviously a lot of skepticism surrounding the upcoming Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix.
For the past several years, its been a struggle for predecessors to live up to the late Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the iconic villain. While nobody may ever live up to a performance of that magnitude, perhaps Joaquin Phoenix can come close. He will play the character in the upcoming film ‘Joker’ set to release in October of this year.
Per a report from Justin Shanlian of the ‘Shanlian on Batman’ podcast, Phoenix is getting a lot of praise for his performance. He also put over the script for the film and said they really nailed the character:
“Been told by many that #JoaquinPhoenix has crushed it as #TheJoker The more I hear about this project the more EXCITED I get for it! You’re ALL in for a treat when this film is released in October! Heard that the script is incredible and they’ve nailed the character of #TheJoker“

‘Joker’ is being directed by ‘War Dogs’ and ‘Hangover’ part two and three director Todd Phillips. Phillips also co-wrote the script with Scott Silver.
